TEN-YEAR-OLD Barack Obama was one of the only three black students at his school in Hawaii, US.
He felt very different from most other students. White girls wanted to touch his hair. A white boy asked
him whether his father ate people.
"I lied (说谎) to them thin my father was a Kenyan prince (王子). But I kept asking myself who I am,"
said Obama.
However, 37 years later, the boy made history. Last Wednesday Obama became the first black president
in US history.
Obama was born in 1961. to an African father and a white American woman from a small town in the
US. He grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii. This unusual background made him wonder who he was. He once
turned to wines to help forget this question.
With the help of his friends, Obama finally turned his life around at college. His hard work made him a
star at Harvard. Later, he became only the third black senator (参议员) in US history. During his race to the
highest post in the US. Obama talked about his background. He called for a United States of America, rather
than a white America or a black America.
"Obama's success has made Martin Luther King's dream come true. That is: A man should not be judged
(判断) by the color of his skin (皮肤), but by the content of his character," wrote ABC news.
